With most of the figures dressed in huge playing cards, the first panel shows Edward on his throne, vacillating, a kneeling Stanley Baldwin offering him a crown. Mrs. Simpson waits at the garden gate with her pet dog while the Archbishop of Canterbury and Queen Mary look on in horror. In the second panel, Edward in raincoat with Mrs. Simpson on his arm is marching over a bridge. Queen and Archbishop are still horrified, while Stanley Baldwin as the Jack of Clubs sits completely dejected on a stone beside a sorrowing Knave who might be Anthony Eden. In both panels...
...members who pay yearly dues of $16. "Standbys" (commercial radio musicians) are assessed $17 for each broadcast. Out-of-town musicians have to pay up when they play in Chicago.

Members of his organization pay their dues in a big room with green marble walls. They are directed to the room by an illuminated sign: STRAIGHT AHEAD TO PAY DUES...

The first had a great deal to do with pianos filled with carcasses of dead donkeys. In the latter the great seduction scene to which the whole film rises is symbolized by a view of a bedroom window through which...
...under the sponsorship of Dealer Julien Levy. Immediately one picture created a sensation. Entitled The Persistence of Memory, it showed a group of watches, limp as dead flounders and crawling with insects, drooping from the branches of a dead tree by the seaside, all this on a panel the size of a sheet of typewriter paper and painted in color as brilliant as a Flemish primitive. It now belongs to the Museum of Modern Art and was a headliner in last week's exhibition. Other interesting Dalis exhibited included a drawing, fine as an Italian master...
